Night Out Must Haves

So recently I’ve been going out a lot (sensibly of course), but the question I find myself asking every weekend is ‘what are the essentials for my clutch?!’ You don’t want to over-do it and try and fit everything in a clutch which is around the size of a postage stamp, but then some things are simply needed for when you get messy. So here are my clutch must-haves to help you ladies out…

1. The most important thing for any night out is money. How else are you going to afford a taxi at three in the morning when it’s double time?! BUT don’t feel like you need to take 100’s out for drinks, simply pre-drink a bottle of vodka and 5000 shots before you go out (probably don’t drink that much you may end up needing your stomach pumped and that would just ruin the night), and then if you’re feeling thirsty just flirt your way to a drink, simple!

2. Keys are essential. If you’re planning a long-haul night out you should probably consider the people you live with who aren’t enjoying your company. Take your keys and avoid having to get your angry flatmate up at 4 in the morning, it will benefit you in the long run as they won’t hate you in the morning, and may even buy your drinks the next time they come out with you- BONUS.

3. Chewing gum. Lord knows that the last thing you need is a hottie chatting you up at the bar, going in for the kiss that seals the deal, and then realising that the massive pepperoni pizza you ate before-hand was making your breath ridiculously bad. To avoid this life or death situation always take chewing gum. As soon as you spot a potential hottie immediately start chewing and quickly spit it out as soon as you see him approaching- simple.

4. Every girl knows that the before and after for a night out is RIDICULOUSLY different. Before you go out everything is on fleek, makeup, hair, nails, lips, it’s amazing how good you look. But after dancing in a sweaty room for 3 hours straight your makeup begins to run, your hair becomes frizzy from the heat, and your lipstick is probably smudged from kissing that hottie at the bar. A simple fix to this is three simple tools- a powder brush, powder, and lipstick. Simply nip to the bathroom for five minutes to reapply your powder to fix that ‘shine’ (sweat) that’s ruining those fleeky flicks, and fix those lips with a lipstick touch up. You’ll end up looking good as new, plus there will be makeup in your bag in case you turn into a dirty stop out!

5. NAIL GLUE IS A MUST! There is nothing worse than losing a nail on a night out and then trying to pull when you’re minus a talon. But have no fear because nail glue is here (in your clutch). You should always carry a small tube of nail glue so that you can quickly re-apply that nail and get back out there.

So there you go ladies, some clutch essentials for every night out. Get out there, look sickening, and party hard!!!
